| Description of the problem | while driving on an overpass and turning to the left, i had just applied the brakes and was applying the gas as i had to get onto the interstate. I noticed the car decelerated, i had no braking power and it was very difficult to steer the car so i coasted to the side of the road. I almost got rear ended by several cars behind me. All the lights were on the car but it seemed dead. I turned the key off and put the car in park. While talking to my husband, i turned the car on and it started and off i drove off with no further problems. What's worse is that day i had my two little girls and my mother in the car. I had to continue to driving since we were on our way to an important doctors appointment. I can't imagine if i were on the interstate at 70 miles an hour. When i called to make an appointment with hyundai service they acted like it has never happened before. |
